GSC Dashboard — User Guide
NordicPulse AI tool for extracting maximum insight from your Google Search Console data.
What is GSC Dashboard?
GSC Dashboard connects to your Google Search Console account and generates 8 specialized SEO reports that GSC itself doesn't offer. Each report combines real GSC data with AI-powered insights to give you actionable recommendations.
How to use the tool
1. Connect Google Search Console
The first time, you need to authorize NordicPulse to read your GSC data. Click "Connect Google Search Console" and follow the OAuth flow. We only request read access to search analytics data.
2. Select website and period
- Choose the website you want to analyze from the dropdown
- Select the time period: 7, 14, 28, or 90 days
3. Choose report type
Click on one of the 8 report tabs:
| Report | What it reveals |
|---|---|
| CTR Optimization | Keywords where click-through rate is below expected for the position |
| Content Decay | Pages losing traffic compared to the previous period |
| Quick Wins | Keywords near top 10 with high potential |
| Dead Pages | Pages that had traffic but are now silent |
| Rising Keywords | Keywords with the largest position improvement |
| Visibility Score | Aggregate visibility based on positions weighted by impressions |
| Device Gap | Large position differences between desktop and mobile |
| Device Cannibalization | Different URLs ranking on desktop vs mobile for the same keyword |
4. Generate report
Click "Generate report". The tool fetches data from the GSC API, analyzes it, and generates AI insights. The process typically takes 5-15 seconds.

Each report shows:
- Summary cards — Key metrics at the top (e.g. potential clicks, number of opportunities)
